Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson erupted after failing to block a bipartisan proxy voting bill allowing parental leave for lawmakers.
Despite once voting by proxy himself, Johnson called it “unconstitutional,” revealing GOP resistance to family-friendly policies.
Critics say this aligns with Trump-era efforts to push women out of public life, consistent with Project 2025’s goal of restoring “traditional families.”
Johnson’s move, including canceling House activity, exposed the contradiction in the GOP’s “pro-family” stance and highlighted deeper hostility to workplace flexibility and women’s equality.
Serious question: They want all immigrants deported, illegal or not doesn’t seems to matter any more. Those “aliens” do the work that the white nobility wouldn’t do in the first place. Then they sent women back into the kitchen which will easily cut another 30% of the work force, probably much more. And then the tariffs are supposed to bring back manufacturing jobs (that said white nobility doesn’t want to do in the first place). How do they think this is gonna work? cut the majority of your workforce and increase the demand of labor all while preventing higher salaries.
Easy, just bring back the 60 hour workweek or child labor.
They’re already working on child labor in some states.
Boost manufacturing so there are more machines in which to put my wooden shoes!
